A developer has proposed a supertall skyscraper in Miami-Dade County. Walter Defortuna, the brother of Fortune International Group’s CEO, wants to move forward with an 81-story building.
Florida YIMBY has learned of two Miami-based projects: one that has finished construction and another that could break ground next year. Here’s what we know.
Optimum Property Management hopes to get approval for a high-rise tower in Miami-Dade County. Plans call for the demolition of a low-rise apartment complex built in 1960. In its place would rise a 50-story building comprising close to 560,000 square feet of new construction.
The St. Regis Residences, Miami, a 50-story residential tower at 1809 Brickell Avenue on the Biscayne Bay waterfront in South Brickell, is now under construction. A groundbreaking ceremony for the development was held on the morning of November 21, featuring 152 bespoke residences—including penthouses, sky villas, and two stand-alone garden villas. The project offers a rare opportunity to experience the timeless elegance and five-star services synonymous with the St. Regis brand. Coastal Construction is overseeing the build, with completion expected in 2027.
Philadelphia-based developer Stamm Development has broken ground on Serene Villas, a new residential community of six ultra-luxury townhouses in the early stages of construction at 1236 George Bush Boulevard in Delray Beach. The design for the project was envisioned by Randal Stofft of Delray Beach-based Stofft Cooney Architects, paired with interiors by award-winning design studio Asthetique. The interior lot spans nearly 0.62 acres, or precisely 26,907 square feet, and is mainly bound by George Bush Boulevard on the north with the other ends of the city block being North Ocean Boulevard on the East, Southways on the South, and Andrews Avenue on the West.
